Lift, weight, drag
nature needs no calculation
elements take flight
*
birds effortless soar
seasons provide inspiration
view from the eyrie
*
uncontrolled the wind
my mind shifts to the stars
blinded by moon dust
The prompt for Poet’s United Midweek Motif is “Wind Power.”

Sayling Away
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe

Yup, nature needs no calculation but us humans always try to prove everything with numbers.

I do envy the birds their effortless flight, except, of course, when they are buffeted by wind!

The elements needn’t answer to anyone. Nature will do as it will. So let the birds soar :). Beautiul poem.

The elements move at their designated pace without promptings. Only humans need adjustments!
